A cheesy rom-com is quite common in any industry, but a mature love story is a rare scene. This falls under the latter category and has done justice to quite an extent.
It is the story of a couple who have been married for five years and are cheating with other partners as they have given up on each other. One evening, their love sparks again, and they fall in love with each other once more, but now they are in a dilemma.
Vidya Balan in the lead is a treat to watch. She handles her character with a lot of grace and quirkiness that you can't help but fall in love with her. Pratik Gandhi gives a decent performance, but as a Bengali character, he still sounds like a Gujarati, which is not ideal. The chemistry between Vidya and Pratik is literally not there, which is a big letdown. Ileana D'Cruz is a breath of fresh air and handles her part with a lot of grace. Sendhil Ramamurthy is brilliant in his portrayal of an NRI and shines throughout.
The story of getting bored in a marriage and seeking love outside of it is very common, and it is handled well by Shirsha Guha Thakurta. Despite being an innovative plot, you can guess the ending from miles away, which diminishes the overall experience. The songs aren't that great either.
The writing is a bit weak as it stays on the superficial level of the relationship and doesn't really make you root for the characters. As a result, viewers miss that emotional connection. It can be watched once, but there is nothing to boast about. #pranureviews #DoAurDoPyaar #DoAurDoPyaarReview.
